The poem I chose is: The Road Not Taken-By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Hyperbole- Oh, equally, and, as far, all

Personification- Two roads diverged

Metaphor- and, just, could

Simile-as, and

Why I like this poem is because there is a meaning in it, a meaning that sounds like it is part of Life's Journey. If you are normal and take the path always taken, you will be normal. However, if you choose to take the path less taken, like how other people have done before , you will stand out as someone more special, unique and useful o the society. These people will eventually go to a special place led by the path, while the people who take the normal path will go in the same direction as where normal people go. This poems seems to be an inspiration for us to take the road less taken, and be a important person in today's society.
